Disk Partitioning for Nagios

[Victor Sanchez2]

Hi Faiz,

the more important things are about database and performace. If you are
going to work with NDOUtils for example and MySQL, the best option is to
create a new and independent mount point depending on the data retention
that you need. Then /var/lib/mysql could be a good option.

For performance, if you are going to work with pnp4nagios for example, a
good option is an independent mount point for /var/lib/pnp4nagios.

And for global configuration, you can create the following for example:

250MB - /boot  (out of the LVM)
LVM
      XXX - swap (depending on your requirements)
      2GB  /tmp
      10GB /usr
      8GB   /var
      4GB   /home (it depends on that you want to do)
      XXX  /opt  (if you don't need more "external" software, probably you
don't need it with a big reserve)
      2GB  /

      50GB  /var/lib/mysql
      30GB  /var/lib/pnp4nagios

Also, if you are going to work with SVN to save the .cfg files versions,
you probably need a new mount point for this to separate it.

This is a example, it depends on each time. If you can, separete the
important things in different mount points and maintain an standard
operating system partitioning.

Best regards,
    Víctor.
